What norms must be observed when building a bath in a garden area
Before deciding where to place on the site bath, it is necessary to study the legislation. For the construction of any buildings in a private courtyard, one should be guided by the rules:
- No. 53.13330.2011 as amended by No. 30-02-97;
- â„–11-106-97.
Each land plot owner should know at what distance a bathhouse can be built. Buildings erected in violation of legal acts pose a threat to neighboring buildings, therefore, most often the court decides to dismantle them.
General conditions for placing a bath: environmental and fire safety requirements
If you look at the classification, the bath belongs to ancillary premises, and for its construction one should be guided by all the norms developed for this type of buildings. Knowledge of the provisions, as well as the recommended distances from the steam room to the IZhS fence, will help prevent claims and protect the personal interests of the owners.
Distance from the bathhouse to the neighbors' fence
To ensure that the structure does not darken the neighboring area, as well as taking into account fire safety, you need to clarify in advance whether it is possible to build a bathhouse near the fence, and how many meters from the border you need retreat. Here they are guided by the following norms:
- minimum distance from the bath complex to neighbor's fence must be at least three meters;
- if the height of the building does not exceed 3 m, it is equipped with a central sewerage system, and the wall facing the neighboring area does not have window and door structures, the distance can be reduced to 1 m.

Not many owners understand why regulations limit the distance from the bath complex to the house on the neighboring site. In addition to the shade, here the main emphasis is on the release of combustion products, which can enter the residential building through doors and windows.
Important! Based on fire safety, the distance from the bath complex to the neighboring residential building should be at least eight meters.

- bay window.

“When choosing a bathhouse project and the location of the building, it is important to take into account that the roof slope is guided by its own area. Neighbors should not suffer from the drained precipitation. "

Standards for distance from natural water bodies
What could be better than plunge into the reservoir after the steam room. However, it also has its own rules, which read:
- the complex can be erected from lakes and rivers at a distance of at least 20 meters;
- the distance to small streams up to 10 km long can be reduced to 5 m.

On his own plot, the owner has the right to attach a bathhouse to a residential building. There are three common options for building a complex:
- a bathhouse and a dwelling house are two different buildings with their own frames and roofs. Entrance doors can be located opposite each other, and the passage is connected by a corridor up to one and a half meters long;
- buildings have one common wall and are located under one roof;
- the bathhouse and the house are two different buildings located as close to each other as possible. Each building has its own walls, but common roof.
PHOTO: twitter.comThe most ideal option is the first, the shrinkage of each building will not create any consequences, but the consumption of materials will be increased. The most budgetary is the second project, but in the event of a violation of the technological process, it will lead to devastating consequences for the entire facility as a whole. The disadvantages of the third option are obvious.
When erecting an extension, it is necessary to hermetically protect all structures from the negative influence of steam. Reinforced waterproofing is required for walls made of bricks, foam blocks or wood. You should also take care of fire safety, especially when it comes to joining with wooden surfaces. For this, fireproof insulation with vapor barrier is laid.

The best solution to all problems in case of violation of the distance from the fence to the bathhouse according to SNiP 2017-2018 is to agree in advance with a neighbor, and not verbally, but in writing. In addition, it is advisable to secure the agreement in a notary office, only in this case the act will have legal force. It's a great tool, but garden owners don't always remember about it.

If the deed of agreement was not drawn up by a notary, the owner of the bathhouse in case of violation of the law will have the following:
- compensation for moral damage to neighbors, the amount is determined by the courts;
- compulsory carrying out of boundary works, as a result of which the boundaries of the land allotment will be shifted;
- dismantling of the building;
- if the building was subject to registration, the owner will pay a fine of 20% of the unpaid tax.
